Do I need to boil grated ginger in order to extract maximum flavour?

I recently got into the habit of making chilled sugarless ginger tea as a way to quit soda. I've been grating ginger and adding it to a 5 litre pot of boiling water, then refrigerating to chill.

May I ask if I can get the same spicy ginger flavour if I just add grated ginger to room temperature water and let it steep without boiling? Does boiling reduce the amount of gingerols? Thanks!
